Instituto Superior Técnico Speciality : Electrical Engineering
programme: Electrical and Computer Engineering

Instituto Superior Técnico is a great university part of the bigger university of Lisbon.

The classes are usually very theoretical and most classes are divided in:
-theoretical classes, in which you learn the concepts and math behind it
-pratical classes, where you learn to solve practical problems with the help of a teacher
-laboratory, in which usually you need to solve a problem using labs equipment or programming

It’s a great university and provides a great insight to the “engineering world” however the campus is quite old and most buildings don’t have a modern touch to it.

I would recommend it to everyone willing to work hard for the goals the teachers expect

A good school overall

Cons:
– needs to rethink some courses that may be outdated
– if you want to do an internship, probably you have to do it during the thesis or on your own time.

Pros:
– opportunities that opens across the market make it one of the best in Portugal
– a lot of international programmes

Job guarantee. Instituto Superior Técnico was created in 1911 following the division of Lisbon Industrial and Commercial Institute. The first director was engineer Alfredo Bensaude, who promoted a profound renewal in engineering teaching methods by creating the first engineer courses: Mining, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical-Industrial.
